Defeating depression: Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone also extensively discussed her struggle with depression on Meghan Markle's podcast. The Pathaan actress said that when both her personal and professional lives were flourishing, she suddenly started to experience signs of despair. She remembered waking up, her blood pressure dropping, and becoming unwell. Deepika claimed that at that point, everything seemed pointless to the point that she no longer wanted to live. "I had a hard time with this for months. I would immediately start crying at the slightest provocation," the actress admitted. She also remembered how difficult it was for her to be in the present because her thoughts were constantly elsewhere.
